Parker, Sarah Jessica
From Make Me Heal
Parker's substantial film roles started with a role opposite Nicolas Cage in Honeymoon in Vegas (1992) (which foreshadowed her comedic talent), Hocus Pocus (1993) and Ed Wood (1994). A big Woody Allen fan, Sarah starred opposite the renowned filmmaker in the TV movie The Sunshine Boys (1995) (TV), and that same year, she landed a starring role in Miami Rhapsody (1995). 1996 was a film intensive year for Parker, with roles in The First Wives Club (1996), If Lucy Fell (1996), and Mars Attacks! (1996). All the while making a name for herself in film, Sarah was gaining respect as a theater actress, with her lead role as a dog in the off-Broadway "Sylvia," and her Broadway roles in "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" (starring her present husband, Matthew Broderick), and the Tony-Award nominated "Once Upon a Mattress." But Sarah's star has shot up since her portrayal of Manhattan sex-columnist Carrie Bradshaw in the HBO series "Sex and the City" (1998). Sarah's Golden Globe Best Actress victory in 2000 only underscores the fact that she plays the role of Carrie as though it were literally written for her. Sarah has been happily married to fellow actor Matthew Broderick for quite a while now. Before the marriage, Parker dated Robert Downey Jr. (who she also lived with), and the late John Kennedy Jr. When not serving as lead actress and producer of "Sex and the City" (1998), Sarah is a member of Hollywood's Women's Political Committee, and is UNICEF's representative for the Performing Arts.
Sex & The City & Plastic Surgery

The eagerly awaited Sex & the City movie, based on the popular television series is finally hitting theaters this week. Rumor has it that the film takes place a few years after the series ended, leading Make Me Heal to wonder what the actresses have done by way of plastic surgery to maintain their good looks.
Make Me Heal has previously reported on Sarah Jessica Parker’s potential nose job (read the full story on Sarah Jessica Parker’s nose job) after we noticed that her nose doesn’t seem nearly as bulbous as it did when the 43-year old actress began her career. plastic surgeon Dr. Paul Nassif believes “As compared to a photo where she’s a lot younger, it does appear that Sarah Jessica Parker’s nose is a lot thinner now. It appears that her nostrils have been reduced and, as well as her tip, and her complete nasal width has been narrowed. Her nose looks natural at this point, and overall her rhinoplasty appears to look very good on her.” However, as the actress has grown into her fashionista self, it is also possible that skills with flattering make-up have helped reduce the prominence of her nose through make up alone.
Plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Youn was not sure about Sarah Jessica Parker’s rhinoplasty, saying “This is a tough one. It looks like she may have had a rhinoplasty to thin her nose and make it more elegant, but when I’ve seen her over the last few years, her nose is pretty prominent. It is too ‘normal’ looking to be a nice rhinoplasty result. There is a bulbous tip and a bump on the nose which would not likely be left after a good rhinoplasty.”
Mr. Big, played by 53-year old Chris Noth is the man in SJP’s Carrie Bradshaw’s life. Their off-screen lives of the actors may also be intertwined as well, as it seems that, like SJP, Chris has also had a rhinoplasty. Before his nose job, his nose was a little on the big side and it is now much narrower, from bridge to tip. His nostrils have a much more pinched look, whereas before they used to be round. Make Me Heal thinks a lower blepharoplasty should be his next move, as Chris is carrying some big bags under his eyes, which make him look old and sickly.
The other blonde female on the series, Kim Cattrall, has said she doesn’t want plastic surgery, but has openly admitted to having Botox injections to combat signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles. She was quoted as saying, “I feel fortunate that those aids are out there, but go easy on it. Less is more. I don’t want to look 20, or even 30. I’m happy to look middle 40s for as long as I can.” In the past, 51-year old Kim has also said she is frightened of plastic surgery asking, “Why would anyone lower themselves to look like an alien? I’m scared of surgery because I don’t want to look in the mirror and not recognize who’s looking back. I don’t want to be in a room, and to have people turn when I leave and say, ‘What happened?’” Although Kim has said that Botox is pretty much the extent of her cosmetic surgery, Make Me Heal believes that Cattrall has probably resorted to non-invasive laser procedures such as CoolTouch, Fraxel or ActiveFx or the radio frequency facial rejuvenation procedure Thermage. Cattrall probably also sampled other injections such as Restylane and Juvederm. Considering that Kim Cattrall is dating a 28 year old man at the moment, we would not be surprised to see Kim having a mini-facelift and some minimally invasive plastic surgeries. With or without plastic surgery, Cattrall looks phenomenal and we think that her dating a younger man is a refreshing change. See Make Me Heal’s complete story on Kim Cattrall’s plastic surgery.
The only brunette of the Sex & the City foursome, Kristen Davis, has said that she will never undergo plastic surgery, fearing she will lose her unique looks by going under the knife. The 43-year old actress is quoted as saying, “If I could do it and look just like myself, I would do it. But I don’t think it works that way. You can’t go back. That’s what scares me. I don’t want to look better, but different.” Although Kristen doesn’t look her age yet, she may yet to decide to follow in the footsteps of her older costar, Kim Cattrall and get injectable fillers like Botox to combat signs of aging, which do not risk altering her unique appearance. She may also consider non-invasive laser treatments such as Fraxel or ActiveFx because they only improve the appearance of the skin, without altering one’s look in the way a poorly executed plastic surgery can.
The youngest cast member, at 42, Cynthia Nixon appears to be entirely untouched by plastic surgery. She recently admitted to have successfully battled breast cancer and looks none the worse for the wear. The most Make Me Heal can say is that the natural blonde looks a lot more stunning as the redheaded Miranda that made Cynthia famous. But Make Me Heal does suggest that she might want to start using non-invasive facial rejuvenation treatments to help with the signs of aging around her eyes and mouth that she is starting to experience.
Sarah Jessica Parker: Nose Jobs & The City
The following article is reprinted from Make Me Heal 's Celebrity Plastic Surgery News. The article, along with photos can be found at the following link: Sarah Jessica Parker: Nose Jobs & The City.
Sarah Jessica Parker has spent most of her life in front of the camera, growing up. As she has gone through various roles, from nerd to chic, Make Me Heal speculates that her nose might have changed as well. The 43-year old mother will be reprising her beloved role of Carrie Bradshaw in The Sex and the City movie due to come out in the early summer of this year where audiences will be able to see her generously proportioned nose on the big screen.
When SJP, as she is known to her legions of fans, was younger, her nose had a very bulbous tip. Yet, as her career has blossomed, her nose seems to have shrunk. The large bump at the end seems to have nearly disappeared and it also appears to be much narrower, although her current day nose is by no means the small nose with a rounded tip traditionally found with rhinoplasty procedures. If Sarah Jessica Parker has indeed gotten a nose job, then she was wise in keeping some of her nose’s flaws intact and not going for a drastic perfect nose job look, as that would eliminate her distinctive, imperfect features that have won her the fan base that she has today.
Plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Youn agrees with Make Me Heal that it is difficult to tell whether or not SJP has undergone plastic surgery to correct her nose, saying, “This is a tough one. It looks like she may have had a rhinoplasty to thin her nose and make it more elegant, but when I’ve seen her over the last few years, her nose is pretty prominent. It is too ‘normal’ looking to be a nice rhinoplasty result. There is a bulbous tip and a bump on the nose which would not likely be left after a good rhinoplasty.”
Dr. Paul Nassif also agrees with the possibility that SJP has undergone a rhinoplasty, “As compared to a photo where she’s a lot younger, it does appear that Sarah Jessica Parker’s nose is a lot thinner now. It appears that her nostrils have been reduced and, as well as her tip, and her complete nasal width has been narrowed. Her nose looks natural at this point, and overall her rhinoplasty appears to look very good on her.”
If SJP has had a nose job to thin her nose and remove the bump, it certainly is subtle. It is possible that the actress has grown into her nose since her days on the TV show Square Pegs. Or the fashion icon simply embraced her inner Carrie Bradshaw and learned how to cleverly apply make-up to make her nose appear to be smaller, thinner and less bulbous on her long face.
